What is Leverage?

Leverage is a credit card sized bottle opener that takes advantage of the inherent strengths of carbon fiber, allowing for a super thin (.059") and ultra light weight (.3oz) design you won't have to think twice about carrying around. In other words... no more need to key-fob around.

It's a bit like the monolith in 2001, but a whole lot lighter, handier with a cold beer, and we vouch that it has been designed, tested, and manufactured on Earth in the good old US of A.

Leverage is in lockstep with your cards. No matter how you choose to carry them be it clip, case, or wallet.

Leveraging Kickstarter

We’ve come to the Kickstarter community to ask for your support in funding our first run of carbon fiber bottle openers. The project is shovel ready but we need tooling, material, and time to start in earnest. With your contribution we will be able to get the ball rolling and in return will be more than happy to reward your generosity. Take a look at our backing levels
